OK, just for my understanding: is there also a possibility to build
installers GUIs a la NSIS?
That's outside the scope of PyInstaller. PyInstaller is used to package
programs in a form that does not require an existing Python installation to
run. That's totally different from building an installer (even if the name
doesn't help with this...).
If it's any use to you, with PowerTalk (Windows) I use a 2 stage system.
PyInstaller or py2exe to create the stand alone python program and Inno
Setup to create the Windows installation .exe that does other stuff too.
The first stage creates a directory, not single file using the theory
that Inno does compression to single file anyway and onedir should be
faster that onefile for user once installed.
I've used Inno from perhaps before NSIS existed but still like it for
its nice declarative syntax (can script if really want to). Its FOSS too.
You can grab the source from fullmeasure.co.uk or powertalk on
sourceforge. I'm currently using py2exe rather than pyInstaller but
going back to it after I resolve a problem.
